2025/10/30

The show stumbles open to a heated discussion on Schatz's readiness to add Anika Nilles' solo works to the 911 wheel for exploration. Putting aside that she has a back catalogue that would quickly have her dominate the wheel, we explore the vein that dislodged itself from Schatz's forehead at the thought of putting a newbie on the wheel with Lersxt and Dirk.

Burke was a Zeppelin/Aerosmith guy until a friend dropped the RUSH bomb, leading him
